I have zero problem with anyone seeing this differently than I do. I am aware it's a game. But calling someone the c word and calling someone's mom a b is not how this or any other "game" should be played. JMO

no, I understand your point an din the real world I'd even say Ed would agree... but it is not the real world in there and Ed does it for the shock factor and to get them riled up..He's not saying it as he believes it... and I am pretty sure thats how BB wants it, him to keep it going..makes good tv..

Just sayign you guys vilify him and you do not know the whole facts...you don't know what BB's role for him is/was...he's an in your face person and BB knew that and put him in for a reason...

I agree with ya Nancy. It's very juvenile and assinine. It's like they've let a bunch of 8th graders loose in the house with no supervision. Sad really.

You are right NancyP. It is not how the game should be played.

Unfortunately they set up a very unhealthy environment there by allowing someone in the house who had no business being there (Dick). He is completely unstable and is a seriously abusive person. The fact that he had to go through all kinds of additional counseling and testing to get in the house should have been a red flag enough to not let him in.

It is pretty telling that in Daniele and Dick's early heart-to-hearts her biggest complaint was how he has always been verbally abusive to her. None of this should be a big surprise.

What went on last night from everyone was not acceptable, but the reality is Dick does this every day he is there. He is the instigator, and he is the focal point. He is not playing the game, he is being himself. It is pretty sad the show has devolved to this and it is even sadder that people defend his horrific behavior at every turn. Please Dick fans, spare me how Eric and Dustin are as bad. Or how Jameka should turn the other cheek. What Dick has done in this house is worse than the other 13 people combined and multiplied by 10.


My only surprise is the reaction by some people here. Because Dick is a heathen his beratement of people and abuse for 5 weeks is somehow okay. And all of a sudden being a hypocrite is a bigger offensive then constantly abusing people who you live with...

I am going to name this: Battered Viewer Syndrome.

Oh, please Neo, let Dustin go. He and Eric are neck and neck for me with wanting them both out of the house. I would do the happy dance on video and post it on YouTube if that would happen.

Just wanted to add a little context to the Dick/Amber/Jameka smackdown. Amber was called to the DR, and Dick muttered something like Amber go to the DR and cry like a little (fill in the blank). He didn't think Amber was in hearing range when he said it. When she came back from her DR session, she started in on him and Jameka joined in.

Poor Dick, those two mean women double teamed him to make him go off. Dick deserves a little of his own medicine and they know there is nothing they can say about him that will tick him off. After all the crap he has spewed his Momma is fair game at this point.

Now see, I don't agree with anyone's "momma" or any other family member being "fair game". They aren't in the house so they shouldn't be brought into the insults in any shape, form or fashion. I had a huge problem with this when Howie started it and I have a huge problem with Jameka saying what she did.

Get personal, by all means, but leave the families and the "c" word out of it...LOL! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Did ERic pitch Dustin to Jessica ? I tried but could not stay up past 1:00 this morning. Also, Eric's voice just makes me switch feeds after too long.
As for the not so nice words. On this season, the have really lost all impact. As Phoenix said, they are truly juevenile and no longer have any punch. The user just looks silly.

Hermione, I'm not exactly amused, but I am comfortably detached. I finally figured out how to get myself to the comfortably detached stage, I enjoy the show much more. I still have opinions, and think Dustin and Eric have just totally lost their minds, and still despise Dick's behavior. But it just doesn't matter that much to me, I'm not emotionally invested in these opinions.

ummm... those poor women attacked him they went out back and cried cause he got the better of them... thats what was pathetic...
Jameka proved Ed's point about her being a hypocrite when she calle dhim mom, a ministor in HER faith, that name....

and sure Ed's got every right to be upset at Amber, she lied to him right before the show started ..he said he asked her in the workout room if Dustin was still voting eric out and she said definately...that was at the tail end of the show...

Complain about other times all you want, but this time he has EVERY right to call out Amber and Dustin as liars

I am not going to defend any of ED's actions in the house. On the other hand, I find it intriguing that when Jen's friend was shown saying in reality she was is nice, etc., outside the house and what we are seeing is not the real Jen. However, when ED's friends are shown saying he is a nice guy, loyal, a real softie, etc., outside the house, that is given no attention.

Of course, maybe I missed the discussion because I haven't had time to go back and read everything since I was here earlier this morning and last night, so please forgive if I missed something.

And I must have missed something that talked about all this additional testing, etc., that he went through. Where was that shown?

Bbdi, same here. I adored Janie & Kaysar but I have no attachements to these people at all. The whole cast sucks. Sorry CBS you screwed the pooch this season.

I am seriously considering switching to Survivor lol!

Well said Marksman. I read these boards day after day and do post a little. Time after time I sit here in amazement at how Dick is defended here on the boards. IMO there is nothing to defend in his actions. I do not see how he was ever let on the show. I will be glad to see him go.

All BB was concerned about was their twist and their ratings. Putting an unstable verbally abusive father and his extremely immature 20 year old daughter in a house with people that are trying to win a game was only going to cause problems.
Dani has ruined her 3 year relationship for a guy she knew for 3 weeks. Dick has verbally abused everyone in the house so much that the public now thinks it’s funny.

The only reason for me to watch the show sunday is to see the look on Erics face when they say he has to try to get Dustin nominated hahahahahh! Probably wont air cuz he will cuss too much. Like they didnt show how he was suppose to suck up to Dick for a vote.
